3 Steps to Hosting a Web Site with Paradox
by Tony McGuire


3 steps to having a computer (Win 95/98, NT workstation/server, Win 2000, it doesn't matter as long as Paradox 8/9 will run on it) host a site in 5 minutes or less (if the web samples were installed along with Paradox on your computer).
  1. Go to the ":wsample:" directory in Paradox 8 or 9 (this alias was created at installation if you included the web stuff when installing Paradox)
  2. Run server.fsl. (you are now hosting a site)
  3. Ooops! Guess that's "2 steps to running a Paradox-hosted site"
Next, open a browser on the same computer and in the address type in "localhost" (without the quotes). Other people can get to this site by using your computer's IP address: http://200.155.888.213 ( as an example; this is a totally random IP and probably goes nowhere!). Later, you could have a specific domain pointed to your machine's IP address (if it is static) and then people could get to your site by typing in the www.domainname.com address that points to that machine. That's all it takes to get started. Now, using the posts on the corel.wpoffice.paradox-web newsgroup (cnews.corel.com), modify the files in the :wsample: directory to be specific to how your site should look/act. ( You can also download the PDF 'lessons' on how it works, OPAL tips and Paradox configuration for WebServing.)
